Making the most of PDB and EMDB data

In this workshop we will show how macromolecular structure data are deposited in the PDB and EMDB archives and how these data are annotated, analysed and validated. We will demonstrate how users of PDB and EMDB data can make optimal use of PDBe’s improved search systems to select and analyse a structure best suited to their needs. The Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe; pdbe.org) is a founding member of the worldwide collaborations that manage the PDB and EMDB archives of macromolecular structure data. To achieve its mission of “Bringing structure to biology”, PDBe develops easy to use data access and analysis tools. The team is also responsible for developing the new wwPDB validation pipelines.
